John Cena
200
The name for variations within a population that improve the ability to survive and reproduce.
Adaptations
200
The name for the random change in allele frequencies. Small populations are more susceptible to this than large populations.
Genetic drift

Ryan Gosling sang what song at the 2024 Oscars ceremony?
I'm Just Ken
300
The concept that states that populations of organisms that do not have a recent common ancestor will develop similarities to one another based on living in similar conditions.
Convergent Evolution
300
What type of gene selection would result in the increase in frequency of two opposite phenotypes within a population while also resulting in the decrease in frequency of an intermediate phenotype.
Disruptive

The generation of sterile hybrid organisms (like mules or ligers) are an example of what type of reproductive barrier?
Postzygotic

Look at the attached tree and explain why scientists refer to modern Reptiles as a paraphyletic grouping.
The grouping does not include all descendants of the most recent common ancestor.

Small populations with a great deal of food and resources available do not typically evolve much, if at all. Why?
There is no selection pressure

The founder effect and the bottleneck effect both describe scenarios of low genetic diversity. How are they different?
Founder: small population size first inhabits an area
Bottleneck: population size rapidly reduced due to an event

2. Random mating
3. No natural selection
4. Extremely large population
5. No gene flow
